Tacos El Compa: Authentic Mexican Flavors in San Jose

+1 star for fresh, delicious food. They serve some of the best tortillas around. +1 star for efficient and helpful service. Even if they could always seem to use another staffer, they always try their best. +1 star for consistency- this place has been solid for years and I've enjoyed every meal of theirs that I've ever had. Leftovers are great, if they aren't eaten before you get to them! +1 star for cleanliness +1 star for fairly priced food and drinks. The value is there for what you get compared to so many places.

We loved this place! Went to this taqueria on a whim. They had really good reviews, so we took a detour before heading back up to Santa Clara. I got the Nacho fries with carne asada and 2 tacos with al pastor and carnitas. My partner got 2 of the hot cheetos taco with al pastor and chorizo). He also got the chicken taquitos. Their asada was great flavorful and not dry! The fries they use (skinny fries) work well with the toppings in the nachos. We LOVED the al pastor! It wasn't pineapple forward like most al pastor out there, so we enjoyed it. The carnitas weren't the best that we've had, but at least it wasn't dry. We also enjoyed the hot cheetos tortilla surprisingly. My partner liked the taquitos, but I thought they were on the dryer side. It really needed the salsa. Speaking of salsa, their roasted and green salsa were the better ones we've had, too. Don't pass on the aguas frescas either! I would go back just to try all of them. Overall, this is a very solid taqueria.

This is my family's go to taqueria for tacos and burritos. The food is fresh and delicious. They also have yummy agua fresca. I particularly like their watermelon agua fresca. I like to order ahead by calling the taqueria. It makes it easier to order ahead and pay when I pick up the food.

I heard about this place from a friend and I'm so glad they recommended this place to me! Bless them for having great recs. I ordered a few things. I walked in and it was slightly busy, ordered the nacho fries (they were SO good, good sized portions as well). my partner ordered 4 carne asada tacos, and 2 carne asada super burritos for to-go. I waited about 10-15 mins for my food which isn't bad in my opinion. The flavors were delicious, the meat on everything I ordered was so juicy, the spice in the salsa also hit. We ate the burritos the next day and they were still SO good. I definitely recommend this place, just keep in mind that it is a bit small so you'd have to consider that if you want to eat there BUT other than that everything else was amazing, including the customer service.

This is the best taqueria in the south bay! Great customer service. Came as soon as they opened and there was already a line forming up. Carne asada tacos and burrito were definitely on point. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. The lady, who took my order, said the wait is about 20-25 minutes, but ended up waiting 30-35 minutes. Plenty of parking. It's a small establishment, so there are only five to six tables for dine in.

This has to be one of my favorite taquerias now because the Al Pastor Super Burrito is SO GOOD There's plenty of parking in the plaza, so no need to worry about finding parking. Card/contactless payments are available! Service: 5/5 Everyone I've met so far have been very welcoming and kind. Super burrito with al pastor: 5/5 The al pastor is so tender, flavorful and smokey. I love all the fillings except I don't get beans. Everything else is amazing. I recommend this place to everyone! :)

Tacos al pastor was closed on Cinco de Mayo and so we were looking for another place to go. This was great as their tacos were cheap, very full, and had handmade tortillas. My girlfriend also loved their super chicken quesadilla. They were hustling and super fast with our order, only taking 20 minutes of the expected 35. Might be our new go to taco place.

F O O D: pretty sure this is my new go-to taco place in SJ super taco ($5.15) - these are 1.5x bigger than normal sized street tacos for sure. I'm good off of one but since they're so yummy I try to stuff two Jefecita ($6.50) El jefe taco ($7.70) : only difference between these two is the extra tortilla on el jefe, its a grilled cheesy tortilla. ONE taco is good enough, it literally is the size of the togo box. ordering 6 tacos was literally six meals that I ate for three days straight LOL al pastor over carne asada for sure but I wish they added pineapple to al pastor tacos like how they do in LA street tacos. S E R V I C E: took my order exactly 30 minutes to come out, staff was friendly A M B I A N C E: very narrow space with maybe 8 tables on the sides
